Margie’s LA in MIA Birthday

I had a great “girl’s weekend” with my crew from LA (technically they originally from the Bay, but reside in LA now)! The ladies came to celebrate Margie’s birthday and we had a blast!! Night one, we started off at the Sunset Lounge at the Mondrian Hotel.

….there we enjoyed this uber *EXCLUSIVE* Russian vodka! lol

And then we headed out to “PLAY” for some late night dancing with the 400 Club….

**note – we don’t know the guy in the above picture! lol BUT – we do know the ones in this pic…

Round 2 – the next night we did Margie’s birthday dinner at Prime 112…

…and snapped a picture with the one and only Myles!

We finally capped our night by going to The Florida Room at the Delano.

GREAT weekend, with lots of good times once again…I just won’t mention how I locked myself out the house and had to call a locksmith or when my truck got towed since I parked in a no parking zone! oops…I just did! haha Love my girls, can’t wait to do it again, I’ll have to come see ya in la la land next time!

A big THANKS to Chad and Matt of Carma PR for setting us up…luv you guys!!

Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland is a visually stimulating, fun-filled ride into a beautiful world of fantasy. Right off the top, the vibrant colors and unique characters suck you in with 3D visuals. Tim Burton’s spin-off from the original tale works very well and Disney has a hit once again! I know going into it, it seemed like it might be scary for the little ones given the trailer, but I can assure you..it’s not too “scary.” I just really enjoyed seeing all these characters come to life with such authenticity and personality. Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway in character as the White Queen and Helena Bonham Carter playing the Red Queen, all do fantastic jobs playing their parts. The story is so captivating and never was there a dull moment, again from the stunning visuals which keep you captivated from start to finish, cute dialogue, beautiful costuming and action, adventure, comedy and drama! Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb were also very charming in a “clueless” way! A few of my favorite things from the movie: the “EAT ME” cake in the film looked so yummy I wanted to try it – figures my sweet tooth always consumes my thoughts, I also loved Johnny Depp’s carrot orange eyebrows and winter wonderland (white) castle, landscaped with so many cherry blossom trees – SO Pretty!! So my suggestion is see it in 3D, see it in IMAX, it’s fun, it’s fantasy, it’s a must see!

On The Flipside turns ONE

My labor of love On The Flipside turns ONE with the Super Bowl – Ocean Drive episode! I started this journey about a year ago, deciding to do a show that I’ve always wanted to do, but didn’t exist and here it is one year later after the debut Tampa show from the 2009 Super Bowl to 2010 on Ocean Drive. This edition has got it all with celebs from sports and entertainment, attending the hottest Super Bowl parties, walking the red carpet and partying it up by the pool..and make sure you watch it all the way through to see the 26 Pro Bowl Cheerleaders in an ultra sexy fashion show at the W Hotel in South Beach!

Pro Bowl – Miami

The NFL Pro Bowl is taking place in Miami for the first time ever, before a Super Bowl – it’s traditionally been held in Honolulu for the past 30 consecutive seasons the weekend after the NFL Championship game! So, since it’s in my backyard, I’ve been hustlin’ On The Flipside and hanging out with my girls! The first (Pro Bowl) event I attended was a Pro Bowl Cheerleader fashion show at the W Hotel on South Beach…featuring one lady from each of the 26 teams with “cheerleaders.”

This year 2 ladies I’ve danced with in the past are reppin’ their teams for the Pro Bowl. Amy from the San Francisco 49ers Gold Rush (we actually were teammates on the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders). Also pictured is current Miami Dolphins Cheerleader Johanna who was helping me cover the event!

Saturday night, Brewer Sports Int’l hosted a fashion show at the Mondrian Hotel featuring NFL players, and they threw in some swimsuit models for added sexy? Hey…that’s how we do it in Miami! lol
